Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools/YouTube
YouTube streams for Prior Lake (Minn.) High School boy’s basketball games average between 200 and 600 views. But one clip from a broadcast this season has racked up more than 2 million views on Twitter.
In the clip, play-by-play announcer Lee Bernick begins to lament the death of his family’s 12-year-old dog Lucy, who was run over by a car in his driveway. Bernick is then interrupted as a Prior Lake player intercepts a pass and throws down a dunk on the other end. “Oh! Was she run over like that?” his broadcast partner George Nusbaum interjects after the Lakers player slams the ball through the hoop.
